In the Anderlecht district of Brussels, riots broke out on Saturday afternoon after a 19-year-old boy was killed on Friday night after a police chase.

The riots near the Clemenceau metro station arrested 43 people, including for throwing stones and damaging police vehicles. Some windows of the bus stops also died. Some media report that a rioter seized a police officer’s service weapon.

The young man answered calls on the Internet to protest the death of the young man named Adil under the hashtag #justicepouradil. According to the police in the Belgian capital, the situation is now under control, but the police remain vigilant until night.

According to local media, the young man was riding a scooter around Anderlecht when the chase began. He was later killed in an accident with a police car.

Anderlecht Mayor Fabrice Cumps said Saturday night that the victim’s family has nothing to do with the call to protest. According to Cumps, the family asks for calm. “Those responsible for street violence do not honor him,” said the mayor.
